How to fill Matrix using a nested loop

scottdprm

I am trying to extract a specific set of numeric data from a file (which contains both text and numbers) and put it into a separate table which is easier to analyze in JMP. I want the script to work for any number of columns or rows where the data meeting specific criteria might be. What I have come up with is below:

Rowlist = [];
For( i = 1, i <= N Rows( Dtraw ), i++,
	If( i == 1,
		If( Num( Column( Dtraw, 2 )[i] ) > 0 & Num( Column( Dtraw, 2 )[i] ) < 1000,
			Rowlist = Matrix( i )
		),
		If( Num( Column( Dtraw, 2 )[i] ) > 0 & Num( Column( Dtraw, 2 )[i] ) < 1000,
			Rowlist = V Concat( Rowlist, Matrix( i ) )
		)
	)
);
show(Rowlist);

cols= dtraw<<get column names();
MainData=J(nitems(rowlist),nitems(cols)-1);

For( i = 1, i <= N Items( rowlist ), i++,
	For( k = 2, k <= N items ( cols ), i++,
		MainData[i,k] =  Num( Column( dtraw, k )[rowlist[i]] );
		
		)
	);
show(MainData);

Rowlist is the matrix of rows that meet the criteria I need (that is, they are numbers and not text). I want to use this list and "<<get column names" to define the regions of my raw data file where the data I need resides. I want to extract that specific data into a different table. The first For loop for Rowlist works just fine, but the nested for loop does not do what I want and I can't figue out why. Can anyone help me with this?

-Thanks

You have a couple of typing errors.

1. Your second For Loop

For( k = 2, k <= N Items( cols ), i++,
</CODE></PRE>
<P>you are incrementing "i", not "k".&nbsp; It should be</P>
<PRE><CODE class=" language-jsl">For( k = 2, k <= N Items( cols ), k++,

Secondly, you need to subtract 1 from k when referencing your MainData matrix, otherwise you will go beyond the range, since it is 1 less than the number of columns.

MainData[i, k - 1] = Num( Column( dtraw, k - 1 )[rowlist[i]] )

The whole section should be:

For( i = 1, i <= N Rows( rowlist ), i++,
	For( k = 2, k <= N Items( cols ), k++,
		MainData[i, k - 1] = Num( Column( dtraw, k - 1 )[rowlist[i]] )
	)
);

Of course, the code looks 'roughly right'.

What error do you actually see, please? Can you upload a part of 'dtraw'?

scottdprm

I get the error message below:

invalid subscript (must be number or list of numbers){1271} in access or evaluation of 'Subscript' , rowlist[/*###*/i]

In the following script, error marked by /*###*/

Show( Rowlist );

cols = dtraw << get column names();

MainData = J( N Items( rowlist ), N Items( cols ) - 1 );

For( i = 1, i <= N Items( rowlist ), i++,

For( k = 2, k <= N Items( cols ), i++,

MainData[i, k] = Num( Column( dtraw, k )[rowlist[/*###*/i]] )

)

);

Thank you this works perfectly!
